Freshwaters

King Salmon

• Naknek River and Alagnak River Drainages
  • It is still early for kings in the Naknek River and Alagnak River Drainage. Sport fishing should begin to improve later this week.
• Nushagak River Drainage
  • A few kings have been landed by anglers but it is still early. Sport fishing should improve later this week.
  • The sonar near Portage Creek is operational; however, the counts have not yet been apportioned by species. Management will be in accordance with the Nushagak/Mulchatna King Salmon Management Plan. No substantial in season information will be available until after June 20. Productivity of Nushagak kings has been consistently good in recent years; therefore, ADF&G is cautiously optimistic for a good return in 2017.

  • It is still early for kings in the Togiak. Sport fishing will not likely be productive until late June.
